Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus
Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus rated it 7 years ago
I liked this less than volume three. It isn't even that it's less well written. Well, I do think volume three was a little tighter plot wise, so, yes, volume two was less well written - but not by much. The characters were still incredibly richly, the plot was far from bad, and I overall enjo...

Apparently, this is the first crossover episode of the Rebirth branding and I’m afraid it’s kind of underwhelming. It’s not bad, it’s just… not great. Collects Batman 7-8, Nightwing 5-6, & Detective Comics 941-942. It might be called Batman: Night of the Monster Men but I’d be more inclined to renam...

I knocked down one half star for the art - which was actually quite good technically, but the style didn't match the story for me - and I knocked down one half star for trying to incorporate issues from the TV show. (A TV tie-in would work far better for that, and some of the ways that, say, Cat G...

A real missed opportunity. This could have been a fun, crazy monster story, but it just never seems to find the proper rhythm.

You explain why you called yourself Apollo, which had to do with Hyacinth. Apollo turned Hyacinth into something else, something more beautiful, even better. Even with all the crap Midnighter had to deal with, Apollo believed his lover could rise above it and become something better. Neither...

I guess have some angel-powers grafted onto you. Especially if your own powers won't work in hell. Midnighter does, and he fights Neron, the devil who's taken his lover, Apollo. This is mostly fighting, and mostly Midnighter getting his face kicked in. Then again, he's used to fighting, even...

Because it's all about hope: Apollo's hope that he can outwit Neron, and Midnighter's hope that he can rescue Apollo. Midnighter backs up his hope, with determination, with stamina, and he punches and kicks his way into the darkest parts of hell, where Apollo is being held, determined to punch and ...

Midnighter goes to Hell to save Apollo. This gets a lot less weird than most of the graphic novels set in the DC or Marvel universes. It doesn't try to shoehorn it into the story without worrying about offending people, which is the sense I get with other stories. This is about Midnighter do...

Batman swings around Gotham, and these are the stories taking place right before that night - or leading up to it - or set during that night. Alfred gets him a dog and he fails to realize that is his gift. Harley Quinn proves she's out to do something nice for a change and he comes to a temporar...

While everyone tries to convince Midnighter that Apollo is dead and that he has to deal with his grief, he counters with 'no, I believe Apollo is alive, thank you very much.' He refuses hugs and any comfort, and instead tries to revive Apollo and then tries to find Apollo's soul. Riiiight. Beca...
